Londron;


Your  deer is a 2 1/2.    There is very little wear on the tooth row, and very sharp points, typical of a two year old,  and having very little dentine showing.


Congratulations,


I hope to put a deer aging class together after the season. Save your lower jaw bones to bring in.

Marchello 19;


Congratulations Marcello;

Your deer is a 2 and one half year old.  The points on the lower jawline show little wear, typical of a 2 1/2 year old. At 3 1/2 they would be showing more wear.

Save your lower jaw bone if you can.  I'm planning  on doing a deer aging class in latter part of January; and will let you know when I get it confirmed.                                                   

The class runs about 2 hrs and you get to keep the handouts that I use.

It appears that your deer is a 3 1/half year old.   

The rear points only show a little wear,  with minimal dentine showing. 


At 4 1/2 it should be show more dentine.   


Congratulations  !

Relf.


Your deer appears older somewhat older;   Looking at the wear it shows the characteristics a 4/1/2.

Save the lower jaw bone if you can. I'll probably do some deer aging later this spring.
